The quote doesn't come from the questionnaire. It comes from an interview with Andrew Murphey and is published in the July 1994 issue of Republican Liberty.
There's no link because you can't access it over the web without a subscription. But you can get a copy of it at most public libraries, or off of Lexis-Nexis.
Here's the full context of the quote:
Murphey: "Some conservatives got flustered by your comments on abortion and Roe vs. Wade. Would you like to explain your position on abortion?"
Thompson: "Government should stay out of it. No public financing. The ultimate decision must be made by the women. Government should treat its citizens as adults capable of making moral decisions on their own."
If that's no pro-choice, I don't know what is.
He does say "I believe states should have the right to restrict abortion as they see fit." This means he is against Roe, which says the exact opposite.
Yes, on that question he appears to be against Roe, but then he contradicts himself when answering the last question, which I quoted perviously.
At least Romney only held one position at a time. When he was pro-choice, he was up front about it and didn't try to hide it. When he changed his mind, he was up front about it too.
When Thompson was pro-choice, he did everything he could to hide his position with ambiguous language and only took a clear stance when pressed.
As far as slickness goes, he's got Willard beat by a mile.
Your entire argument rests on that one quote, which I cannot find in here.
It's not the only quote. There's also a you-tube of Thompson in a debate in 1994 where he comes down as prochoice (though he does everything he can possibly do to obfuscate his position):

Notice he thinks states should only be allowed to impose "resonable" restrictions like parental notification, but ultimately the government shouldn't be criminalizing it.
Sorry my friend, but his prevarications notwithstanding, that's a pro-choice statement.
“At least Romney only held one position at a time. When he was pro-choice, he was up front about it and didn’t try to hide it. When he changed his mind, he was up front about it too.” Well, since Mitt claimed to have had a change of heart, why does he assert now that ‘leftover embryos’ at IVF clinics are good sources for research embryonic stem cells? Mitt is a pandering politician who has shown for 35 years where he stands regarding life issues. He just made a mistake and exposed his true position when he addressed embryonic stem cell sources. Didn’t fit the false position he has tried to sell the conservative public.
If that's no pro-choice, I don't know what is.
It's a pro-FREEDOM statement.
He says let the PEOPLE decide what they want to do and let the chips fall where they may.
"If a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man."
